How to access the Raspberry Pi Zero though SSH

So I'm trying to remotely access my Raspberry Pi Zero using SSH. The raspberry's OS is Raspbian Jessy Lite (so no desktop envioment, only the command line). I coected the raspberry to the Inteet using an Android phone with USB-tethering (the raspberry pi zero doesn't have an etheet port, I tried with a Zydas WiFi dongle but I couldn't make it work) so ruing ifconfig outputs:

lo      Link encap:Local loopback
        inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0
        inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
        UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
        RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
        TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

        RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

        collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
        RX bytes:5959 (5.8 KiB)  TX bytes:18109 (17.6 KiB)

I'm trying to access the raspberry from a linux computer (ruing debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux), I use the command:

ssh pi@192.168.42.172

But that results in an error:

ssh: coect to host 192.168.42.172 port 22: Coection timed out

I have enabled SSH on the raspberry using the

raspi-config

command. Ruing the ssh command on the raspberry works but it times out when I use it in the linux computer. I also tried to ping the raspberry, this is the result:

debian:~$ ping 192.168.42.172
PING 192.168.42.172 (192.168.42.172) 56(84) bytes of data.

Also, here is the file /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
